Abstract

Recently five Ωc\Omega_c excited states have been reported by the LHCb Collaboration, four of them corroborated by Belle. The Belle Collaboration has also discovered in 2017 one excited Ξc\Xi_c with mass of 2930 MeV. In view of these recent detections, we analyze the possible molecular description of these states, using a unitarized baryon-meson model that incorporates both chiral and heavy-quark spin symmetries in a consistent manner. We pay a special attention to the renormalization procedure, so as to determine the robustness of our predictions. Within our model, we generate dynamically several Ωc\Omega_c and Ξc\Xi_c states. We find that, at least, three of our Ωc\Omega_c states can be identified with the experimental ones and have spin-parity J=1/2J=1/2^- or J=3/2J=3/2^-. Moreover, we find a plausible molecular description of not only the Ξc(2930)\Xi_c(2930) state, but also Ξc(2790)\Xi_c(2790), Ξc(2815)\Xi_c(2815) and Ξc(2970)\Xi_c(2970), reported in the PDG. Interestingly, we determine that Ξc(2930)\Xi_c(2930) and Ξc(2970)\Xi_c(2970) are heavy-quark spin partners with J=1/2J=1/2^- and J=3/2J=3/2^-, respectively, while obtaining that Ξc(2930)\Xi_c(2930), Ωc(3090)\Omega_c(3090) or the Ωc(3119)\Omega_c(3119), and Σc(2800)\Sigma_c(2800) would belong to the same SU(3) multiplet.
